Increased R&D Essential to Remain Competitive in the German Electric Drives Market
Drive manufacturers are looking to increase R&D investments to remain competitive in a market characterised by market maturity, technology advances and globalisation. The challenge has been in achieving the optimum balance between innovating and maintaining profits. However, with production shifting to Asian regions, which are offering huge cost advantages, R&D is likely to take on increasing importance as technical features become a vital differentiating factor. Customer-focused R&D are therefore, expected to play an increasingly important role in protecting revenues and market share in the future. Manufacturers are also expected to differentiate their offer through value-added services, such as implementation, training and consultancy.
This Frost & Sullivan research examines the German electric drives market with a focus on the three key electric drives segments - AC standard, DC standard and AC servo. It outlines the prevailing challenges faced by drives manufacturers and gives strategic recommendations to benefit from the changing markets and obtain maximum return on investment.
Intelligent Drives to Spur Market Growth
Recently, technological advances in the German electric drives market have been focused on integrating components into single units to minimise costs. The industry is witnessing growth in a variety of these new, intelligent, multi-functional products, as end users seem to be showing a preference for these units for reasons such as space and ease of installation, explains the analyst of this research service.
Electric drives manufacturers looking to supplement their margins from simple inverters are likely to find it very beneficial to increase investment in the development and enhancement of these integrated products. Such developments are also expected to have a significant impact on the growing trend of decentralisation of drives, higher safety and security and integration of Ethernet in the communication process.
Move towards Sophisticated Drives Underpins the Key Growth Segments
Electric drives manufacturers that are able to determine application-specific and customer-oriented technological enhancements are most likely to gain in terms of market share and profit. Alternating current (AC) standard electric drives are at present the most popular drives solution and constitute the largest market segment in Germany. AC servo electric drives are the most dynamic market segment in Germany and are gradually replacing direct current (DC) systems, observes the analyst. Further, DC standard drives have been losing market share over last years due to the development of new AC products, which are more accurate, reliable and attractively priced.
While AC standard drives are set to remain the single-largest market segment, their share of the total market is likely to see a slight decline, as servo products gain in popularity. The AC servo segment represented 28.7 per cent of the total German electric drives market in 2004. This share is expected to steadily increase to 34.5 per cent and register revenues of $305.1 million by 2011.
